Saying further delay is hampering effective delivery of justice, some Senior Advocates of Nigeria yesterday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to confirm the nomination of 18 high court judges to the Court of Appeal.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Mohammad, had in his capacity as the chairman of the National Judicial Council, recommended the judges to fill the vacant positions at the appellate court that had been underperforming as a result of the dearth of justices.
However, several weeks after the CJNâs request made pursuant to Section 238 (2) of 1999 Constitution as amended, the president has not responded.
